Locomotive exhaust trials

Post by M. Hardy-Randall »

Can anybody please explain what trials, with regard to the exhaust, were being carried out on Class GEA 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt number 4009 in the 60s'?

A picture of the loco in question can be found near the bottom of the page on the website of Prorail.UK in the South African section of the photo gallery.

Who designed it and for what purpose?

Many thanks
